It seems like that bill would just give probate judges more code sections to violate as they take their sweet time issuing licenses. The GFL process needs to be conssolidated under one state agency. That would hopefully provide a more consistent and efficient process.

True, but it does make them refund the cost of the permit. Before there were zero penalties if they went over (well except when GCO gets involved), if this passes they will (loss of funds).

Do you think a county that is always late will stay that way if taking their sweet time means they have to do it for free? I would bet that the "backlogs" will mysteriously vanish.

HB 850, if it passes as is, has no outside time limit, with the only penalty being a free license.

Let us assume some outlandish hypothetical. You know, something that would never happen in the real world. Like, oh, I don't know: Let's assume some probate court took 2.5 years to issue a license. (Oh, I know it could never really happen). What is there in this bill to make that court issue any faster?
